]]>Even if the American based carmaker Tesla makes the rules in the plug-in hybrid and electric segments, its rides were definitely not built for aftermarket customizations; and the small projects carried out by different tuning companies worldwide demonstrate just that.

However, T Sportline tuner was especially created to create exclusive projects on different Tesla models, and the latest one to be officially presented at a special event is the gorgeous Model S P100D seen below in the media gallery and video.

The aftermarket specialists from T Sportline have named their work “Project TS8”, which comprises some serious modifications carried out at the exterior as well as inside.

The model looks extremely aggressive with the new aero kit – there are blacked-out new components replacing the standard chrome accents, adding as well tinted windows, carbon fiber rear spoiler or the massive 21-inch forged alloy wheels with matte black finish.

The cabin has not been left out, the technicians from T Sportline inserting perforated Bentley Linen leather upholstery with black contrast stitching, custom floor mats or gloss black carbon fiber trim on the dashboard and front seats.

Don’t run away, there is more! The interior is also coming with the Escort Passport Max CI radar detector for those loving high speeds and adrenaline rush, adding as well bespoke audio system with 13 speakers, Alpine amplifier, Rockford Fosgate EQ processor and 10-inch subwoofer.

As for the car`s drivetrain, this remains unchanged, meaning two powerful electric motors hooked to a 100 kWh battery, and developing an impressive 680 horsepower. The Tesla Model S P100D is also the fastest production model in the world, managing a staggering 2.27 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.

The astonishing achievement was carried out by Frank Markus and Brian Brantley from Motor Trend, who also declared: “We regard 0-30-mph acceleration times as the benchmark for how hard a car launches, and this new Tesla gets there 0.05 second ahead of the next quickest 0.92-second 911 Turbo S. The two run pretty even through 40 mph, after which the Tesla pulls ahead, maintaining a 0.2-second lead from 60 mph through 90 mph. The two cross the quarter-mile mark together at 10.5 seconds, at which point the Tesla is running 125.0 mph, and the Porsche is traveling 6.8 mph faster.”

Back to our stories, the video revealed below highlights the car`s new exterior and interior created by T Sportline. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

]]>There are a lot of Russian guys that are extreme when it comes to Mercedes-Benz customizations, and most of them resort to no other than TopCar aftermarket shop to turn their rides into crazy and insane projects. And for that you would also need the right cash.

The owner of this Mercedes-Benz V-Class decided to change to van`s boring look into something more exciting, and also arrived at the tuner`s shop with pockets full of cash.

The aero kit seen below and especially created by aftermarket specialists from TopCar, cost the owner no less than 12,090 Euros. However, the tuner is also offering a carbon fiber aero kit for around 17,000 Euros.

The Mercedes-Benz V-Class below comes with the tuner`s standard aero kit, meaning bespoke front and rear bumpers, front and rear fender extensions, aerodynamic spoiler at the rear and rear diffuser, as well as the new exhaust tips.

However, the technicians also offer some extra goodies like the Shark logo in the central grille, fender extensions or rear spoiler. Some carbon fiber elements, like the fiber hood, are also provided at extra costs.

In the engine department, the model has not received any modifications, but you should know that the Russian tuner is also offering power kits for both the 2.1-liter diesel engines, meaning more power than 124 and 161 horsepower, respectively.

What do you think about the tuner`s new project on this Mercedes-Benz V-Class? Does it make it more spectacular and aggressive? Would spend at least 12,090 Euros for the standard kit, or would you opt for the more appealing carbon fiber?

]]>Jeep`s Trackhawk is definitely a champion when it comes to heavy customizations, all carried out by Texas-based tuner Hennessey Performance, a well-known aftermarket shop that deals with standout projects from Jeep.

For around $20,000, Jeep Trackhawk owners can build the perfect muscle car, with impressive power torque and whopping performance figures.

This lad seen here in the media gallery below can run like hell from 0 to 100 km/h – if you haven’t estimated yet, let us do it – just 2.8 seconds with drag rails; on the other hand, the quarter mile is done in astonishing 10.5 seconds, at a top speed of 214 km/h.

All these are possible thanks to the new power kit, comprising an ECU remapping and plenty of additional fittings under the hood.

The power stage consists of heavy mods, like upgraded fuel injectors and fuel pump, stainless steel long tube headers, bespoke high-flow supercharger bypass valve and high-flow air induction system. All these new mechanical tweaks make the Jeep Trackhawk output no less than 1,012 horsepower available at 6,500 rpm and whopping 969 lb-ft of torque, available at 4.200 rpm.

Besides the new power kit, as you can also observe in the photos below, the Jeep Trackhawk by Hennessey Performance tuner is also looking more aggressive and standout, thanks to the new wide aero kit, consisting of custom front and rear bumpers, side sills and massive blacked-out alloy wheels.

]]>It can turn out to be quite stressful when you plan to buy a used car. But, every time you plan to check out one all you think about is getting a good deal which will not cost you much money. Now, this is very important and so here I am with a few important things that you should consider when buying one.

Get your research on used cars

To start with you can go through the local newspaper or check out the special offers at the website of Allen Ford. You can go through the dealer reviews on the site written by some of the genuine customers.

Consider your financing

To start with you must know how much you can spend on the car. You can even visit the websites which helps you with calculation. When making the calculation you should consider the down payment, the monthly instalments as well as the value you will get on your old car if you have any. Moreover, it would be better that you sell your car on your own as it will save you from the brokerage charges.

What kind of questions to ask

It is very important that you should understand the situation well. Buying a used car can come with a number of doubts and questions. This means you should be ready with yours when you plan to buy one from the dealer.

Ask about the fees

Whether you plan to buy the car from an individual or a dealership you need to consider all the costs in your budget. There can come some additional charges which you may have not thought about in the first place. This can include registration charges, documentation fees, sales tax, etc. You should always ask to break down the charges for you for a better understanding.

Oh, don’t forget about the car insurance

It is important that your car is insured at the first place. The dealers will make sure of it but, in case you are buying it from an individual you need to know that the car is insured when you drive it home.

Go for a vehicle history report

If you happen to like a car and want to spend some money buying it then it would be advisable that you ask for VIN – vehicle identification number first and check the vehicle history report. You can now find a number of websites which can help you with it. In case the dealership or the individual is not ready to share the number better you back off from the deal. Moreover, just from the looks you can estimate the issues to an extent. For example, new carpeting may indicate that it was damaged during the floods. When the car is declared as a total loss by an insurance company or whether it was rolled back by the manufacturer can also be known.

Get the car inspected

History report is important but you need to get the vehicle inspected by a mechanic too. He will be able to identify any potential issues present in the car which may not come to your view at first.

Whether it is a brand new one or a used car, buying it is an occasion of excitement and immense joy. So make sure you clear out the path so that you have a better buying experience.

]]>The 2017 Land Rover Discovery is from the factory an exceptional SUV with advanced aerodynamics and good looks, impressing its audience with high-tech features inside and plenty of performance under the hood.

However, in case you are not satisfied with the way this marvelous car looks, you can always enhance its good looks by adding some new styling elements. And one particular tuner that can fulfill your wildest dreams is no other than Startech, a hardcore division from Brabus.

A true example in that matter is the below 2017 Land Rover Discovery, which looks extremely aggressive with the new aero kit installed by Startech.

The SUV`s most important highlights are the new front apron with more prominent apron and raised side flaps, adding as well bespoke rear diffuser with integrated tailpipes, enhancing thus its sporty character.

Other features also refer to the Union Jack fender garnish, along with the new Monostar M wheels, measuring 22 x 10 front and rear, respectively. The new wheels are wrapped in Continental low-profile tires with 295/40 R 22 sizing.

Moving inside, the cabin welcomes you with STARTECH logos, floor mats and leather upholstery, adding as well as series of new colours and trimmings.

In the engine department, the model remains unchanged. As a reminder, the new Discovery comes with a powerful engine lineup, one of them being the new 2.0-liter Ingenium petrol with dual-clutch transmission, adding as well a 2.0-liter twin-turbo flat-four engine with 200 horsepower.

]]>The Italian based manufacturer Maserati unveiled the gorgeous Levante SUV at the Geneva Motor Show last year, the SUV becoming an instant hit on the market and differentiating itself from the rest with an extremely evolutionary design and impressive motorization under the hood.

With such an amazing design, you can state that this SUV doesn’t require any changes at the exterior to make it look aggressive. However, there are tuning companies willing to take things even further.

And there are some subtle changes that in the right place and with the right skills, can transform the Levante into a genuine tuning product. In fact, this has already happened in Larte Design`s garage.

The model below looks extremely appealing with the eight-piece carbon fiber elements – at least for the moment, as the tuner intends to make it a full carbon fiber kit.

The updated front fascia comes with left and right bumper overlays, adding stick-on lip extensions on the same sides and central overlay, and carbon fiber mirror casings.

Moving to the rear, one can observe the carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler and the new rear diffuser which enhances the car`s aggressive look.

In the engine department, the Maserati Levante by Larte Design is unlikely to suffer any modifications, the aftermarket specialists leaving its 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine intact, with 424 horsepower and a 100 km/h sprint done in just 5.2 seconds.

You can find more about this project in the media gallery below released by Larte Design tuner! Would bring any modifications to your exquisite Levante to make it look more aggressive? Please comment!

]]>Daimler`s strongest arm Brabus, is well-known for building impressive rides with astonishing good looks and impressive performance under the hood.

But there is a limited-Rocket series from Brabus that takes things beyond common sense – one of those striking cars that will be officially displayed at the upcoming 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show as the most powerful and fastest cabrio, is no other than the Brabus Mercedes S65 Cabrio Rocket 900. And that for the hefty price of a half million euros.

The video below provides a full insight on the car`s exquisite exterior and mega-power under the hood, but I feel it is also our duty to make a thorough presentation of the cabrio`s exquisite features.

As you can depict from the video, we are dealing here with an extremely aggressive ride, thanks to the new full carbon aero kit, 21-inch alloy wheels, high-performance suspension system and brakes.

Brabus has also enhanced the looks of the interior, which perfectly matches the car`s exterior aggressive attitude.

But the car`s main highlight is the power under the hood. This monster on four wheels comes with a V12 turbo engine, capable of churning out a fantastic 900 horsepower and whopping 1,500 Nm of torque. Add the 350 km/h top speed and you can push the pedal to the metal to reach 100 km/h in a staggering 3.9 seconds, which for a cabrio, is exceptional.

In case we made you curious enough, then just push the play button below and take a good look at what Brabus has done with this S65 Cabrio!

]]>BMW Abu Dhabi Motors will always be the “oasis” of the most impressive BMW models ever put for a show or just for display. And we have seen in the last couple of years plenty of products that represent the epiphany of the German engineering.

And the carmaker`s M division has been created to deliver the perfect solutions for its rides. Models like the M3 or the M4 are the best examples of how perfectness should look in the eye of the beholder.

One of the most recent customized models to arrive at BMW Abu Dhabi Motors is the below F80 M3, all wrapped in the exclusive Java Green colour and adorned with a series of M Performance parts.

It looks marvelous with the new carbon fiber aero kit, highlighted by the carbon fiber front and rear bumpers, side sills and custom rear wing, all signed by M Performance. The Akrapovic exhaust system is a “must have” on an M3, and this one couldn’t have gone away without it.

The exterior always complements the cabin. This F80 BMW M3 is also highlighted with the same M parts inside. We are dealing here with the stylish exterior theme on the dashboard, seats or door panels, with contrast stitching on the armrest and lower dash. One can also observe the carbon fiber trims around the iDrive dial, upper dashboard or driver side vent.

Underneath the skin, this exquisite Java Green F80 BMW M3 is packing the stock 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque on board, and a 4.3 second sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. The top speed is electronically adjusted at 250 km/h.

]]>Even if in standard form, the second-gen Porsche Panamera offers its customers a high-end taste inside the cabin, not everybody find it appealing and will always try upgrade it with custom finishes and touches from well-known tuning companies.

It was also the case of the owner of the below Panamera who decided to call for some help when it came to interior changes. And the Russian experts from TopCar are one the most reliable on that matter.

The car`s interior has suffered some serious modifications to fit the customer`s needs. Taking a closer look at the video released by the tuner, we can find a mix of high-end materials, like black and white leather with Alcantara and wood trim.

The seats are also looking luxurious with the new upholstery, perfectly complementing the doors` white leather and dark wood trims. The steering wheel and dashboard feel sportier with the same mixture. All, in perfect harmony with the car`s exterior in black and white theme.

Speaking of exterior features, this particular model has been also modified by the same tuner, meaning a carbon fiber body kit with updated bumpers and air intakes, revised daytime running lights and brand-new side skirts and bonnet.

The wheels are also new and offer the car an enhanced aggressive look. Add as well the new rear wing and custom rear diffuser and you have an exceptionally well-built Porsche Panamera. Any further details can be found in the video below and gallery, released by TopCar itself! Enjoy!

McLaren Special Operations, the supercar`s strong arm, has also announced the arrival of its gorgeous 720S, an astonishing project put together for Michael Fux, a well-known philanthropist.

McLaren`s CEO Mike Flewitt, thoroughly described his exclusive ride in a recent interview:

“Challenging the art of the possible to meet the most demanding customer requirements and then delivering beyond expectations are integral to the service that McLaren Special Operations offers. MSO provides McLaren owners with virtually limitless possibilities to tailor a car exactly to their needs and tastes; unique paint colours and finishes, custom leather and stitching and exotic materials are all available within a bespoke commission, while beyond this there are opportunities all the way up to complete vehicles designed to individual specification.”

In case you were wondering how much this model would cost, close source state that the price tag might be set at around $350,000, given the fact that a 720S with the Luxury pack costs around $280,000.
